I was wrong about the bass - it's actually pretty good. I'm annoyed because I can't figure out what size complies (or olives) to order or that work for me. Are there two types of Olives? Are there other tips that will fit them stem that I can try? I tried the triple flange and it fits great on the left, feels pretty dangerous on the right and I refuse to try and push it in any farther.

Would the FiiO E6 be a decent amp to start out with?

No, if you must go with fiio go with the e7/e11/e17 or something like that. the e5/5 are just ok imo from my expierence

The UM3x has more extension in the highs than the W4, but in turn, it is recessed compared to the W4's smooth and unoffensive highs. Which it may sound hollow, maybe a little similar to the SE425's highs, but more hollow. And as for the tips... I love using the shure grey flex since I prefer silicon to foams, and the grey flex increases the highs' extension compared to the westone silicons. The tri-flanges are not dangerous though.

Haha Of course you prefer silicon cause you do not like BASS!!!!!!!!!!!!
